What to Expect
You play as Luma and her bear Brom in a fantasy forest, progressing through single scenes that form chapters in a replayable campaign. The built-in storybook/dashboard records choices and progress. Sessions are scene-based, your decisions shape Luma’s journey across chapters. Artwork by Justine Chalieux supports the atmosphere.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed exclusively for solo players aged 13+, this is for fans of narrative, campaign-style experiences. It fits players who enjoy focused, story-driven gameplay and are comfortable with solo mechanics. Previous experience with solo or story games is helpful.
How It Works
Wildwoods combines Storytelling with mechanics like Dice Rolling, Multi-Use Cards and Action/Event triggers in a Scenario/Campaign structure. You resolve scenes by making choices, rolling dice and using card options while the Storybook functions as the board and dashboard. Each scene acts as a mission within a larger campaign, with choices carrying over between scenes.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Sjoerd van der Linde, the game’s central hook is its physical Storybook-as-board, typical for Campaign Games and Book components. The combination of solo-only design, storytelling and polyhedral dice creates a focused single-player narrative experience. Artwork is by Justine Chalieux.
